User Scans – Number of times the index has been scanned.

It does not account for an index that should be clustered. One of the warning signs that an index should be clustered is when this query suggests to you an index that contains a lot of columns (or has a lot of include columns). It is suggesting that, because it does not want to do a bookmark lookup to get the columns it needs for the select list. In those cases, […]
